Today is the first day of fasting. I have packed myself a beef sandwich and an oatmeal bar for *dinner* I will likely grab a coffee or something on my way home from class. I think the biggest temptation is to resist from pigging out once I get home.
My allergies are getting pretty bad. I should pick up some Tylenol tonite as well. Let's see how the day goes.....

Well, today on my nightly walk I actually got my first honk. It was a bit delayed as I was crossing the crosswalk. Must have been my big booty that got one
Hey Misty!!
So you got your first honk... thats awesome!
I love when they whistle too....
but honking is a definite compliment...
I def look forward to the day I grab positive attention, instead of the negative attention I get ..
love yas hun
always
your friend

I thought it was time to update the ticker. I lost a lb- of course, I weighed myself in the morning w/o any clothing weighing me down and my stomach being absolutely empty, but I will take what I can get.
I will take a walk, today and tomorrow, if time permits. Won't be able to hit the gym this month.
The hard part these days is watching my calories. I need to make a dinner plan so that I don't a) over eat b) pick up the wrong food.
Goal for next week: 118 lbs.

My aim is to lose the last 19 lbs in 5 months. I know it may take longer, but the goal for now is to reach my ideal weight by the end of Jan 2009.
But the plan for September is to lose 3 lbs by Sept 30.
Once October hits I'm going to be regular at the gym- 3 to 4 times per week. And healthy eating- that is how it has always worked. And continue that through to Dec/ Jan.

Today I am abbbsooluttteeellllyyy fuming! I cannot believe my boss!
I asked for my contract to end a week and a half earlier than what it is right now. AND SHE HAD THE GUTS TO SAY NO- indirectly of course. Through e-mail. And explaining that I had to "train" the new person. BS. More like spoon feed the new person- and how effin long does training take? I'm not a rocket scientist .....I'm admin! Geez. Two weeks max, what does she expect me to do, train this girl for an entire month???
During my review two months ago she asked what challenges I faced, and one of the challenges I told her about was having to start with no training, no direction of any sort. Hell, I didn't even know who our suppliers were...BUT the part that ticks me off the most is when I told her that she brushed it off like it was no big deal. Her response was, "Well, no one ever spoon fed me". AND NOW she expects me to put together a contact list, a prep package, "training" for this new person. The nerve of her ......
Yes, it does suck. The fact that I had to struggle to find my way around the business and my job and my boss doesn't even think twice about how hard it was for me. Yet this new person is getting things put on a plate and served to them- at my expense. At the expense of my time, my energy. I'm still job hunting- no, I haven't had a whole lot of time to look out for me.
I have to wonder what she thinks I did for an entire year- God, she's an idiot.
I can totally understand passing projects on to a new hire- of course, they need to know what is going on. Of course, training of *some* sort is required but is 1.25 weeks off really asking for too much?
Anyways, this was more of me venting than anything. I haven't felt this angry in a while. These past couple of weeks I've been going through a host of emotions- could be the fact that I'm fasting and the caffeine deprivation is causing mood swings, could be that job hunting is stressful with a full-time job and part-time classes, or it just could be that I'm sick and tired of the crap I have to put up with at work.
In any case, I know I`ll bounce back up.

I'm in a relatively good mood today - I think it's because work is kinda planned out and I did not fast today cause I'll be running back and forth a lot.
Eats so far:
2 fibre granola bars: 240 cal
1 cup orange juice: 80 cal
1 cup of orange pekoe tea with milk: 50 cal
Later on I plan to have:
1 cup of coffee with cream : 150 cal
Fruit- apple/ peach
Today I will prepare a chicken salad for myself- for tomorrow.

I'm exhausted at the moment. At work. Need to get some shit done. Hope to get out of here at 7:40 pm at the latest. It's Friday after all.
IT's kind of weird because this will be the last day I will have the cubicle to myself. The new hire starts when I am back from my week of vacation- oh joy- and I'll be training her for about three weeks and then I'm out of here- which is sort of scary. Have a few job apps in mind and I hope that one of them come through.
Better finish up at work.

but I am making a check out next week for 250 to catch up on the payment ...
but next month its time for choices as to what dress we are going make .. oh goody!!

Thanks Nat
I'm back up to 119lbs, but the weekend is not over! I'm at work (suprise, suprise) finishing up last minute stuff so that there is no havoc next week when I am away. Suprisingly security has not passed by yet asking me what I'm doing in the office on a Saturday.
I still have the marketing spending budget to fix up- that takes a while to do. I hope to be out of here by 7:30 pm.
My schedule has been hay-wire lately and I'm finding it hard to get time to go to the gym. I plan to go next week. It's raining this weekend and the gym closes early. Maybe I can work out at home- need to find some goooood work out music though. Six good songs should do.
My priorites at the moment are a) losing 3 lbs this month b) landing a few good interviews c) saving up for a car . My car is giving up on me and I will definitely need a new one for when the snow hits- it's going to be a used car, and preferably a Toyota. I need a couple of months to save up for it though.
In other news, my digital publishing classes are going good. But I have to pocket out $700 for the software we're using!! And that's DISCOUNTED. The original price is close to 2 grand. Know where the next pay cheque is going, haha.
My love life is on hold at the moment, lol. Eh, non-existant. And maybe it is good like that for now. Gives me time to focus on other things. I'll start panicking when I hit 27.
Anyhoo...back to me numbers.

I ate terribly yesterday- did not help that I did not eat much during the first half of the day- I pigged when I got home. I am back up to 119.8
I am thinking of going out for a walk after dinner if it does not rain. But anyways, I have next week off, so I will hit the gym starting tomorrow at 8:30 pm until 10pm- Monday to Friday. My mini goal is to build consistency by going there for 5 days straight.
I have noticed that my energy level at work has been up due to eating light and taking my iron pills. I have to remember to continue this as one of the reasons I have been having a hard time exercising is feeling too weak to do it in the first place.
Mini goal: 3.8 lbs lost by end of September.

Unexpected turn of events today- my period hit! So apart from the cramps, I did manage some exercise at home.
Hitting the gym tomorrow morning and then heading home and then to class. I should do my homework on the bus ride there.
I've decided to weigh in on this Friday.

Today so far I have done pretty well.
I had:
Breakfast:
1 glass of milk
1 slice of brown bread with PBJ
Lunch:
1 date
1 grilled chicken sandwich: mustard, ketchup, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers on 2 whole wheat toasted bread slices
Snacks:
1 cup of tea
1 tea biscuit
I'm thinking of having a fruit salad for dinner.
Yummmm.....
I walked three miles - at, and back and to the gym. Got my cardio in. I'll hit the weights tomorrow. Really want to tone up before winter hits.
Might walk to the store later- need to pick up some toiletries.
Aim for Sept 21, 2008, Sunday: 117 lbs

Some days I don't know why I do the wrong things. Is my will power really so weak??? I was ssooooo good last year, and now that motivation has fallen short I've taken it to be ok to over indulge in unhealthy food.
Anyways, time to get back on track. I'm going to start a paper journal to get me through this as well. Argh. So while I still stand at 118. something my goal for the end of the week is still 117 lbs. I will be out of the house for the most part today and there will be a fair bit of walking.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be spent at the gym and job hunting. Maybe all I really need is patience and some faith in myself.

I think I ate too much bread for dinner
Anyhoo, I was on the bus today and this girl was talking to this other girl about herself, her life etc. Anyways, she apparently has a full time job, is studying part time and has a decorating business on the side! And I`m thinking to myself, wow, I want to be as successful as this girl is! Plus she snagged a husband as well!!
It`s funny but sometimes strangers can be motivating forces. This girl is my idol!
